Chapter 185: Blood Day (1)
If it is dozens of demon wolf corpses, it will be okay to deal with them on the spot, but now there are hundreds of demon wolf corpses on the ground, if you stay for a long time, it is difficult to ensure that something will happen, and since there are wolves in this place, other small beast groups will definitely not be there, so except for some of the prey carried by the team members, the corpses of other prey are all collected by Hathaway into the fairy garden...... Most of them were put into storage, and only a small number of the unformed corpses were used as fertilizer for her garden.
On the way back, the special combat team members were in a happy mood...... The loot is not the most important thing, but the tacit understanding of the team members in the battle is the most important thing.
Hathaway often taught them that they would rather have enemies like wolves than teammates like pigs, and that trust and understanding between teams is very important for people like them who often fight in special environments. Some of the previous small encounters, for the team members, just a warm-up, and the wolf pack, is a real battle, although a few team members were injured, but the injuries are not serious, after using the healing potions, or a fierce leather boy.
When everyone rushed back to the camp, they were noticed by the sharp-eyed team members through the woods, and when they saw the team that went out in the morning full of prey, the team members couldn't help but feel all kinds of envy and jealousy, and he even left his post and pounced on the team, but. Always rigorous Jayfa. Troon immediately stopped this irrational action, and grabbed a few of them, kicking them in the ass a few times. He shouted at them for sticking to their posts, and said that if this situation were repeated, they would be given some substantial punishment for those who violated the rules - reducing their chances of going on a mission.
The special combat team, the requirements are extremely strict, similar to the drill is not a punishment, the most terrible thing is to reduce the chance of being out of the mission and the identity of the special combat team members, for these members full of chivalry, this is simply more painful than killing them. So Jafa. Troun unleashed his stunt and immediately defeated these lawless boys.
"Instructor. Someone asked to see him. "One of the team members asked Jafa. Troon whispered a few words. Jafa. Troon came to Hathaway to report it.
"Let him come to see me in the tent." Hathaway nodded and returned to the tent.
The visitor looks like a good-looking peasant, but if you look closely, you will see that his eyes are different from the shrewdness of ordinary people.
"Lord Hughes has ordered me to give you this letter." The visitor respectfully took a letter out of his bosom. Hand it to Hathaway.
He didn't have a common name. Hathaway didn't ask either. After taking the letter and looking at the secret note, he opened the envelope and took out the letterhead.
The letter is Cecia. Hughes wrote and reported to her a piece of news that was both bad and good.
Three days ago. The largest gang of thieves in the Cordillera Plateau washed a caravan in blood...... This is not the point, the point is that the city defense army has been informed before, and the lord's palace has also issued an order for the city defense army to intercept the thieves and protect the caravan. But the two commanders of the city defense army delayed the fighter plane and commanded Han Feng. After receiving the report, Chi went to the banquet on his own, and the deputy commander, Rotimack. Thorne, however, refused to send troops on the grounds that the city's defense was to protect the town rather than the caravans.
"Good."
Hathaway's hands were slightly closed, and a cluster of flames burst out on the letterhead, and in a moment the letterhead had turned into a cloud of ashes and fell with a splash.
"I was worried about how to take these two people, but they sent them to the door themselves. It's a pity ......"
Hathaway's anger erupted like a volcano, and if these two people were serious about their duties, she was not in a hurry to catch the city defense in her hands, after all, the action was too hasty, and it was easy to provoke a backlash from the old forces. However, the actions of these two people have touched her bottom line...... The entire caravan, at least a hundred people, died in this way.
Well, Hathaway is not an angry young man with a strong sense of justice, but the safe and trade environment that she has managed to create in the past few months has been destroyed like this, which is intolerable to her.
"Sue SΓΉ Cecia, I want a detailed report of the blood day, which must be delivered before the special forces leave the forest. Also, Jean Sgart. Kancy and Bowen. Cornett joins me. Hathaway said in a deep voice.
"Yes, my lord, do you have any other orders?" A flash of surprise flashed in the visitor's eyes.
"No, you can go." Hathaway waved her hand and motioned for the messenger to leave.
Originally, she still had some hope for the city defense army, but now it seems that it is impossible to rectify it. Of course, now she is confident. First of all, the three mercenary groups have taken shape, the most important thing is that the special combat team has been able to be used, and the progress of the training base is also very good, in another half a year, the first batch of trainees can graduate, at this time, the exchange of blood for the city defense army, it cannot be said that there is no risk at all, but those two commanders are self-defeating, Hathaway, as the lord of the Cordillera, does not need to ask anyone to call the shots - in fact, as long as the evidence in her hand is sufficient, even if it is to dispose of Solo. Baron Bell, too, is a matter of raising his hand.
After being given the idea of a real battle, the special combat men were in high spirits, and had no objection to the sudden withdrawal of the camp, on the contrary, the speed of the march was much faster. This time, Hathaway did not hand over the corpses of those monsters to the garden for decomposition, but stored them as military rations and dark blue rations.
β¦β¦
Lop.
It's a very humble town, and you can't even find its name on the map...... In fact, it is a bit reluctant to call it a 'town', there are only about 20 families here, and the mercenaries first rested here, and after a long time, a gathering point was formed, and later some mercenaries who were tired of their adventures lived here permanently, and such a small town was formed.
But in late July, a mysterious team quietly took over the town under the cover of night, and a moment later, the lights in Mayor Liver's house were lit, and Liver, who was sleeping a little dazed, was woken up from his bed and taken to the living room.
"Your Excellency?!" Liver, who had already been awakened, was startled again after seeing the person sitting in the middle clearly, wondering how the new lord could appear in his house without noticing.
"You know me?" Hathaway said with some surprise that she couldn't remember when she had seen the old man.
"Yes, when the lord first came to Mandi Gaza City, the villain had the honor to go with the crowd to pay a visit." Leaf said with some trepidation.
"Don't be nervous."
Seeing that Lever was a little uneasy, Hathaway showed a very warm smile: "Mr. Liver, I want to borrow your town to do something, in the past two or three days, you are not allowed to enter or leave, and all losses, the lord's mansion is responsible for compensation, you don't have any opinion, right?" β
Opinion?
Of course not, Liver's gaze quickly swept over the guards on both sides, and his heart was suddenly taken aback...... Leaf was also a very experienced mercenary in his early years, but after middle age, he had family bonds and settled down. He found that although the guards were not very old, they were all in good spirits, and they were clearly well-trained and ineffective. On top of that, these people have a smell of blood on their bodies, which is a unique aura that can only be formed after seeing a lot of blood.
"I obey the orders of my lord." Almost instantly, Liver thought of Hathaway's purpose for coming here, and he couldn't help but be surprised, but his face was silent.
It's not news that the Blood Day Thieves have bloodied a caravan, and everyone sees this as a challenge to the Lord's declaration of suppression. Although the lord exterminated a lot of thieves some time ago, he did not break the bones of the largest group of thieves in the Cordillera Plateau, and now it seems that the thieves are going to challenge.
"That's great."
Hathaway nodded in satisfaction, "Mr. Liver, please continue to rest, we can just rest here as we please." β
How can this be?
Liver insisted on giving up the best room, but Hathaway couldn't refuse, so she had to agree, so there were all kinds of alarms, anyway, the mayor's family didn't have a good night's rest tonight.
Early the next morning, Sgart. Kancy and Bowen. Cornet came to Lop Nur.
"My lord, do you really want to attack the Blood Sun?" Bowen. Cornett asked excitedly.
"Of course it's true, since they committed crimes against the wind, then we will make an example of the monkeys." Although Hathaway's voice did not fluctuate, Sen Sen's killing intent made both of them feel a pang in their hearts.
"Middleton will continue to mix in the mercenary world, and after this battle, your relationship with the Lord's Mansion will be revealed by someone with a heart, so you all have to join the city defense army." Hathaway said.
"Yes, Lord Count." Both of them were excited, and it was better for them to be able to become public officials than to live a risky life, and of course they would like to.
Bowen. "My lord," said Cornett, "My lord, the Blood Sun Thieves are one of the most powerful thieves in the Cordillera Plateau, are we enough?" β
"You can't wait until the time is right to do everything."
Hathaway said, "When you need to do it, it's when the time comes." Now everyone is watching my next move, and I'm afraid a lot of them want to see my jokes. I must slap them in the face with the facts, and give the other thieves a deterrent. β
"My lord, we will do what you say you want to fight." Bowen. Cornnett and Sgart. Cancy glanced at each other, his eyes revealing something of interest.
Hathaway smiled and said, "I want to lure the snake out of the hole, what do you think?" β
Bowen. Cornett thought for a moment and nodded, "That's a good way, but I'm afraid those thieves won't be fooled!" Also, I'm afraid that our current strength is less than half of the others, how should this battle be fought? (To be continued......)
